Install Software: AXIS Print System version 1.20 and up
AXIS Print System is the recommended tool for configuring a network printer, setting the print
server's IP address, printer discovery and printer driver installation. AXIS Print System can be
installed for both Peer-to-Peer and Client-Server printing. For Peer-to-Peer printing, AXIS Print
System must be installed on all printing clients. The print server will then, together with AXIS
Print System, emulate the behavior of a local printer port. For Client-Server printing, AXIS
Print System can be used to create printer objects on one server. The installed printers must
then be configured to be shared to allow clients to use them.
To configure a printer with AXIS Print System 1.20:
1. Select a network printer from the Available Printers/Print Servers list and double-click.
AXIS Print System will suggest which driver to use for the printer you have chosen.
2. Highlight a driver in the list and click Next>. If you wish to choose a driver from the AXIS
Print System driver list, click More. To locate alternative printer drivers, click Browse to
Driver Setup File and install the driver.
3. Enter a name for the printer (if you wish), follow the instructions on the screen and click
Finish to complete the printer driver installation.
You have now completed the installation of the AXIS 5800 Mobile in a Windows cable
network.
